had fun in 55 today

Not if you call up the numeric mph display on the speedo

Surely that's not what he's referring to

Only the OP can confirm...

I have had my 55K for nearly 4 years and travelled about 36k miles in it ..

and even now, I marvel at the seemingly unending thrust and the responsiveness .. truly a magnificent engine

And you're very well cosseted, so hitting three figure speeds is effortless, catching some drivers out sometimes ( apparently).

Indeed, very easily done ...

Ford Focus ST's don't seem to be fairing too well against the opposition just a lately....

It's an historical problem - they are far too slow...

.. these cars are absolute beasts. When driving normally day to day at a pedestrian pace you dont seem to appreciate that these things are like missiles when provoked.... Great cars...

Nice. How long have you had the car? I think the split personality really helps with not getting bored with AMGs. If they were always one or the other, I'd probably be looking to move on already.

(And I like this thread, nothing like the reaction I got on the one where two guys got caught doing 144mph.)

I dont want to upset anybody. But im sure the other 55k owners can make their own minds up with regards to mph and kmh... as 90 mph in these feels rather pedestrian.. but that does not give anyone the right to do silly speeds.. so to all the speeding campaigners sorry again...

I had a lot of fun in my AMG today! The sun was shinning and the air was cool....perfect for the supercharger. The speed and sound the AMG make are laughable every time I step inside my car. Today's drive I covered around 160 miles and in my opinion it was too short and quick! one does have to keep a sharp eye on the speedo because these things are like Rocket ships.

Same here. Went for a blast in my SL55 with the roof down. Very bracing!!

Nice run with a white Carrera 4S from Donnington today - it makes you feel good
